Czy taka?The Jesuit Pear was brought from France to Historical New France in the 1600-1700's by either Jesuit missionaries or French settlers. They have come to be recognized as the living symbol of the Detroit/Windsor region's French Canadian community, particularly the French-speaking community. Many of the descendants of these early settlers still live in these communities today. There is much lore surrounding the trees. Some say they were planted in groups of 12 to represent the 12 apostles, with one standing apart, representing Judas. A few descendants of the original trees still stand today, some as old as 200 years. The nominator's own 4x great grandfather, François Navarre, is said to have brought the small pear trees to the settlement that he founded in what is now Monroe, Michigan in 1787. There is a plaque in Detroit marking the site of the "Old French Pear Trees," where at one point, hundreds of them lined the shores of the Detroit River. Preservation efforts have been carried out more in Canada than the US: Agriculture Canada gene bank, Harrow Research Center, and the Horticultural Program at St. Clair College in Windsor.
